“…A more recent study on exercise intervention using an active video game showed that 12 weeks of aerobic exercise improved flow-mediated dilation, aerobic fitness and blood pressure in overweight children. 32 The last unsolved question facing the day-by-day clinical practice is how to screen at baseline the child who should perform PA instead of receiving drug prescription. We suspect that the more inactive ones should be those with the potential largest benefit from PA.…”

“…In Table 1, using the above approach we reported 11 randomized controlled trials involving PA performed in obese children and adolescents. [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] These randomized controlled trials involved a wide range of patients' sample size, and PA programs were different for intensity, duration, modality and setting. In general, these studies have found a positive effect of PA programs, particularly of a vigorous intensity, on blood pressure and lipid levels.…”

“…16 Scientific evidences collected in the last years in pediatric subjects, in opposition, support the existence of a strong relationship between PA and MS; [17][18][19][20][21] moreover, several intervention studies performed in obese children and adolescents showed the efficacy of PA programs on MS parameters. [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] Therefore, there is an evident discrepancy between theory and practice regarding the role given to PA in MS treatment.…”

Physical activity (PA) and diet directly influence obesity and metabolic syndrome (MS) as important determinants of body composition. Understanding how PA relates to MS in youth is of great importance, and could offer a common strategy for clinical and public health approaches to control this condition. The underlying disorder of MS is a condition of insulin resistance, and a strong relationship between PA level and insulin sensitivity is clearly ascertained. The type, duration, frequency and intensity of PA affect fuel metabolism, in particular carbohydrate and lipid oxidation. The possible modulation of metabolism because of increased fat oxidation by PA is the basis for both prevention and restoration of insulin resistance and MS in obese children. In daily clinical practice, diet followed by pharmacologic treatment are usually the approaches taken, whereas PA is often considered just a suggestion. Although diet and PA have different effects on body composition, with both contributing to fat loss, only PA increases muscle mass and thus has a direct effect on metabolic function, expressed by changes in cardiovascular risk factors. Therefore, it is important to remember their complementary but different targets in daily clinical practice, such as body weight control for diet and metabolic health for PA. In this review, we have summarized the literature on the relationship between PA and MS in pediatrics. Then, we have analyzed the possibility of using PA for MS treatment, as an alternative to drugs, by discussing the results of intervention studies, reasons for low compliance to PA, related benefits, adherence difficulties and costs. Finally, we have tried to suggest recommendations for a multiple-step PA strategy in children and adolescents at risk for MS, by considering PA as the 'key' player in treatment.

Introduction: The prevalence of overweight and obesity among the children are increasing in the last two decades in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. However, there are limited studies regarding dietary behaviour on children and adolescents with obesity. Materials and methods:A cross-sectional study data collected over six months August 2014-February 2015 Sample size was 293 children and adolescents (4-16 years old age) randomly selected from the ambulatory clinic in King Abdulaziz University Hospital. Data analysed by using statistical package for social science (SPSS), version 16. Results:There was a significant relation between eating outside the home and Body Mass Index and ratio of center circumference to hip, (p = 0.018). The data shows that children who eat while they watch television have higher Body Mass Index score than who were not (p = 0.036) r = 0.143. Moreover, there were also association of children dietary behaviour and Body Mass Index scores of children. Children who drink soft drinks (p = 0,023, r = 0,141) and not doing exercises (p = 0,01, r = 0,347 and p = 0.008, r = -0.167 have high Body Mass Index respectively). On the other hand, we found that kids who eat with their families have lower weight while height was controlled (p = 0.012, r = -0.335). Conclusion and recommendations:Findings, along with the results of the present study, suggest that the availability of obesity-promoting foods in an adolescent's home and eating behaviour promotes the consumption of these foods/fluids and increase the risk of obesity for both sexes. Therefore we recommended that to regulate the availability of unhealthy food/fluids may reduce adolescent BMI change as well we advise to decrease fast food and soft drinks consumption. Effect of the Family Food Environment and Dietary Behaviors on Obese Children and Adolescents IntroductionObesity in children and adolescents is one of the most widespread medical problems worldwide, including in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Evidence shows that the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children has increased in the last two decades in the KSA. A Saudi study reported that the prevalence of overweight and obesity among primary and intermediate school students is 11% and 15.9%, respectively [1]. A notable public health problem is the consumption of fast food and soft drinks by children and adolescents, which is correlated with a higher risk of obesity [2]. Increased opportunities for energy intake accompanied with limited energy expenditure are the most important factors underlying the high prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents, accordingly to a community-based national epidemiological health study in Saudi Arabia, which reported that the prevalence of overweight and obesity are 36.9% and 35.5%, respectively [3,4]. Obese children and adolescents are more likely to be obese adults, which leads to health problems that contribute to significant morbidity and mortality [5,6]. As there are limited studies regarding dietary behavior in obese children and ad...

“…However, these studies have not addressed issues specific to population subgroups or intervention-delivery modalities. In a very recent review of the literature on the relationship between physical activity and metabolic syndrome in youth, Brambilla et al [50] provided an overview of 11 studies [69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79] on physical activity intervention, focusing on a subsample of obese youth and intervention modalities and concluded that the different physical activity programs, relatively short duration and small sample size of these studies likely contributed to the inconsistent results. Although there were some controversies regarding the risk of insulin resistance, fat mass and body mass index for certain subgroups of children and adolescents with obesity, regular vigorous intensity physical activity on blood pressure and lipid levels did much to alleviate concerns that physical activity programs could have positive effect in these metabolic risk parameters.…”
